AROMATHERAPY FOR INSOMNIA
- Insomnia is a common problem amongst many people. Most people will experience insomnia at some point in their life and will either have difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep for any length of time. Although the cause of insomnia varies, there are a few simple aromatherapy recipes that might help in your search for a more restful night’s sleep.
- Your body will probably get used to the scent and will not necessarily respond to it in the same way as it originally did. It’s easy to switch out one essential oil for another (or vary the quantities) because there are several essential oils that can be used for insomnia.
- Even though essential oils have been used for centuries in other cultures, they have only become popular in the states and the last few years. Essential oils for sleep are a powerful ally that can help you go to sleep without dependence on prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids, which often come with negative side effects such as addiction.
- While essential oils are safe, there is a potential for an allergic or unwanted reaction, so if you are sensitive to many substances, add only one or a few types to your regimen at a time. If you are trying to get pregnant, or are pregnant or lactating, many essential oils have contraindications for use. Nearly all the essential oils must be diluted before using them on your skin, but there are some exceptions (carrier oil).
- A good book written by a knowledgeable author on essential oils can help you achieve the greatest benefits by advising you about how a particular essential oil affects most people. With some experimentation, you can learn how the various aromas and properties of essential oils affect you. The best way to learn quickly is to pay attention to your body, and be ready to take a break, even from aromatherapy blends that are very effective for you.
